+# v1.12.0-dev
+
+## Breaking changes
+The slack bridge has been split in a `slack-legacy` and `slack` bridge.
+If you're still using `legacy tokens` and want to keep using them you'll have to rename `slack` to `slack-legacy` in your configuration. See [wiki](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Section-Slack-(basic)#legacy-configuration) for more information.
+
+To migrate to the new bot-token based setup you can follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Slack-bot-setup).
+
+Slack legacy tokens may be deprecated by Slack at short notice, so it is STRONGLY recommended to use a proper bot-token instead.
+
